Local. Essential.
Southwest Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation provides reliable, affordable energy to 50,000 residential and commercial consumers in Chester, Crockett, Fayette, Hardeman, Haywood, Henderson, Lauderdale, Madison, McNairy, Shelby and Tipton counties. We are a not-for-profit, consumer-owned cooperative that is committed to the communities we serve.
After 30 years of dedicated service, we are proud to celebrate the retirement of Keith Haywood, who concluded his career as a Substation and Metering Technician.
Keith began his career with Southwest Tennessee Electric as a Groundman and, through hard work and dedication, worked his way into the Meter Department. Over the years, he has played an important role in serving our members and helping keep our system running safely and reliably.
His commitment to Southwest and the members we serve has made a lasting impact on our co-op. We are grateful for the many years Keith has given to Southwest Tennessee Electric and our community.
Please join us in thanking Keith for 30 years of service and wishing him a happy, healthy and well-deserved retirement! âš¡ ... See MoreSee Less
